We are excited to announce our upcoming FREE workshop event, the 2018 Fall Science Olympiad Enrichment Day (SO-ED) at the Gordon Center for Integrative Sciences at the University of Chicago on Saturday, October 13th. This workshop will mostly focus on NEW EVENTS for the 2018-2019 season! The purpose of this event is to provide resources for Science Olympiad teams in the Chicago area to succeed and host enrichment activities in a low-stress, non-competitive setting.

We are inviting your school to register students for spots in workshops on the following events and activities: (subject to change until registration opens)

Astronomy (Galaxies)

Anatomy (Excretory System)

Codebusters

Designer Genes

Fossils

Protein Modeling

Boomilever

This workshop will run from 9 am to 3 pm on October 13th with an hour-long break for lunch, which will be provided.

April 7, 2018: We hosted the Spring SO-ED Workshop! This free workshop day consisted of a series of mini-workshops for Building Skills, Astronomy, Disease Detectives, XPD, Write It Do It, Anatomy, and Remote Sensing/Meteorology.

We are happy to announce that registration is now open for UChicago Science Olympiad’s first “Build It” workshop, to be held Saturday, March 4th from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM at the University of Chicago campus.

We will be offering workshops for 4 events: Game On, Helicopters, Towers, and Wind Power. We will be providing materials for Helicopters, Towers, and Wind Power so that students can learn how to build their own device. Students can choose to take their device home or test it on our rigs. We are limited to 10 builds per event, but more than one student can work on each build. Participants in Game On will need to bring their own laptops and chargers.

Registration is free and lunch will be provided. This workshop has been generously sponsored by the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center at UChicago.
